This EG6 Honda Civic Is A Furious Little Hill Climb Beast

With a giant diffuser, comedy-size vents and shelf-like side skirts, this is clearly no ordinary EG6-generation Honda Civic. The madness continues beneath the skin too: under the bonnet you’ll find a K20A engine (that’s the one from the DC5 Integra Type R), packing individual Jenvey throttle bodies.

It pushes out around 240bhp at 9000rpm, making this slick-shod, 780kg car extremely quick. We can see it here piloted by Belgian driver Fabrizio Casciaro at the Eschdorf Hillclimb last year.

Fancy checking out another diminutive but very fast hill climb machine? You might enjoy this Hayabusa-engined Toyota Starlet…
